How to do Barbell Push Bent Over Row

- Pull the barbell towards your abdomen by bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. At the peak of the movement, perform a small push of the barbell downwards and pull it up again.
- Lower the barbell back to the starting position with control, extending your arms fully while keeping your back straight.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your back flat and avoid rounding your shoulders to ensure proper form.
- Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement to maximize back muscle activation.
- Use a weight that allows for proper form and control throughout the exercise to prevent strain or injury.
